Discovered in 1959 during repair work on the Five-story Brick Pagoda in Songnimsa Temple in Chilgok-gun, North Gyeongsang-do Province, this pavilion-shaped miniature stupa is one of the sarira reliquaries, including a glass cup and bottle, contained within a tortoise-shaped stone chest stored in the brick pagoda. This jade object discovered in the pagoda displays the conventional shape of the curved jades of Silla, which underwent a change from a half-moon to crescent form. The similarity of the green color between the jade and the glass sarira bottle has attracted keen attention among historians.
